Old but lovely

I've always wanted to collect something. The closest I've got to collecting something was having a book of stamps when I was about 10, but that book is long gone, most likely buried under piles and piles of barbie dolls.
I was in the op shop the other day (looking for frames) when I found this lovely little thing.


A bit battered definitely, but I love it none the less. It was pretty cheap too.
It was when I came home and sat it next to my great - grandfather's camera and my polaroid...



that I decided I am going to collect old cameras :).

Holidays are coming to an end

Since tomorrow is the last day of holidays for me (unfortunately), I thought I'd share with you some bits and pieces from the past few weeks...


The beach I spent a week at. It was beautiful.


A bunch of paper boats my friend and I made. We went to her dam, hoping to see them float, only to find there was no water!


This is at my aunt's place. She has an amazing garden, and despite the fact that this little feature was small, it was one of my favourite parts. You're meant to put candles in it but I think it looks like a birdcage.




And finally here is the little place where we brought cherries from when we were travelling to the coast. It's handmade signs and cute little verandah put a smile on my face. The man who sold us the cherries had an Italian accent and told us his cherries were 'good enough for the kings'.

All in all,
a pretty good holiday :).

I found this wonderful photographer on someone's blog a while ago, I have no idea who's it was. Anyway, I think they're simply gorgeous photos, don't you? This is what I wish my winters were like. Plus I want her clothes!






This last one has inspired me to find out whether I can work my great - grandfather's old camera.

Hope you all had a lovely weekend, what did you get up to? :)

A question for you...

I'm always doing something to my room. There's always a bit, that in my eyes, needs to be fixed or adjusted. At the moment, it's my group of frames. They all sit in the middle of the wall, and I've gotten a bit sick of them. So I took some down, put new ones up (thanks Nan and op shop), and moved them all over to the side of my wall. I quite like how they look now. But a few of them are still empty. And I don't know what to put in them.





So here is my question for you, dear readers. What do you put in your frames? I know the obvious answer is pictures, but there are tons of possibilites. Embroidery, postcards, quotes, polaroids, photos, prints, letters. Let me know, post some pictures if you like, give me some ideas :).

One day we will lose our teeth

Yesterday morning my 3 year old cousin and I had a conversation about how one day we will lose our teeth, and then we will only be able to drink lots and lots of milk. She is very sweet. So is her brother. We're home from my Nan and Pop's today, I kinda wish I was still there...it's just nice being there.


I love this photo. It's somehow empowering I think. Please let me know if you know the source.

Treehouse Point

TreeHouse Point is an intimate alternative for individuals and groups who seek comfort and style in friendly and natural surroundings. All accommodations are well designed and artfully decorated, with touches like handmade beds, original art and charming vintage furnishings.





I've been meaning to post about this for a while, I've always loved treehouses. When I was younger my friend had an enormous treehouse with three levels and I was absolutely fascinated by it. The idea of treehouses as accomodation is great.Everything about it looks perfect. People describe it as that, along with magical, remarkable and beautiful. I definitely agree from what I've seen!

P.S. Sorry for the lack of posts. I am/have been at my Nan and Pop's house with cousins etc :).
